On Tuesday morning, one person lost their life following a three-vehicle accident near Bush Intercontinental Airport.
According to the Houston Police Department, the fatal incident took place at about 5:51 a.m. at north Sam Houston Parkway and JFK Boulevard. Police stated that the driver of a black Ford F-150 was going eastbound on the North Beltway Feeder Road at a high rate of speed.
The driver apparently ran a red light and crashed into a Nissan that was heading southbound on JFK. The impact caused both vehicles to go out of the intersection and into a Ford Expedition sitting at the red light. Officers added that the crash was so severe that it knocked out a couple of signs, a light post, and was pushed into a witness vehicle, a Ford Expedition.
Officers were inspecting if the red light was working properly or flashing red at the time of the accident. However later they found that the light was in working order. The male driver of the Nissan was declared dead at the scene.
Officials do not believe that intoxication played a role in the wreck but they are still investigating if impairment was involved. The driver of the F-150 was transported to the hospital with minimal injuries, officers stated. Reports indicated that the F-150 was on its side and the Nissan rammed underneath it.
Both vehicles were wrecked due to the collision. No charges had been filed as of Tuesday morning, but further investigation will determine if the driver of the F-150 will later face arrest, officials mentioned.
The incident remains under review.
